  • Will This Stock’s Sizzling Streak Continue After This Week?

    By Harsh Chauhan - May 19, 2013 | Tickers: GME, MSFT, SNE

    This has been a phenomenal year for video game retailer GameStop (NYSE: GME) as it has seen its stock rise more than 60% so far, which has come as a surprise to many. Shares have risen despite declining revenue and earnings, and this is probably one of the reasons why there is huge short interest in GameStop with 46% of the float held short at the end of April (according more »

  • Electronic Arts' Gross Margin Improves at the Expense of GameStop

    By Alexander Cho - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: EA, GME, SNE

    Is the video game console dead? Perhaps Electronics Arts may no longer have the long-term potential with its hard-core video game franchising. Despite the weak performance, I’m a little more optimistic than the rest of the street. Let’s uncover this opportunity?

    Earnings highlights

    In the first quarter of 2013 Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) reported a decline in revenue. The company’s revenue declined from $1.368 billion in more »

  • Are These Companies in Danger of Going Bankrupt?

    By Timothy Green - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, GME, NOK

    How likely is a company to go bankrupt? This is a difficult question to answer, but there is a relatively simple calculation one can do to size up the strength of a company's financial situation. The Altman z-score was introduced in 1968 and is a simple sum of five components derived from a company's balance sheet and income statement. The result of this calculation, the z-score, is a more »

  • To Capitalize on the Next Xbox, Don't Buy Microsoft

    By Robert Ciura - May 5, 2013 | Tickers: GME, MSFT, SNE

    Investors have likely noticed the pronounced outperformance of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) shares over the past several weeks. Indeed, shares have rallied more than 20% just since mid-January. Long derided as being ‘dead money’ and a boring technology giant starved for innovation, Microsoft’s share price performance in only a few months’ time is more indicative of a start-up in high growth.

    Beneath the excitement, however, is a disturbing lack of more »

  • 2 Buys and a Sell for Tech Companies on a Rebound

    By Chris Lau - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: BBRY, GME, TIBX

    The beginning of the second quarter of 2013 is off to a strong start. Quarterly earnings results were kicked off by resource giant Alcoa. Other than lower revenue, things were not so bad that investors bid up shares in cyclical companies. Missing out on the rebound were some companies in the technology space with high implied volatility in the options market. Companies that had little change to their stock price more »

  • Is GameStop Fair Game for Value Investors?

    By Leo Sun - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: EA, GME, MSFT, NTDOY.PK, SNE

    GameStop (NYSE: GME), the largest multichannel video game retailer in the world, has staged a remarkable comeback over the past twelve months, surging 40% despite an industry-wide decline in video game console and software sales. How did GameStop pull off such a robust rebound and defy both macro and micro odds? Let’s break down the numbers to see if GameStop is a buy at current levels.

  • Is This Big Box Retailer Back on Track?

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 11, 2013 | Tickers: BBY, GME, RSH

    Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) appears to be back on the road to glory, question is, where does the road end? The company is up over 100% year to date, with the big news of late being the fact that Best Buy is looking to open up mini-Samsung stores inside its locations, sending shares up 10% in a single day. However, will the idea of having Samsung stores really add that more »

  • Will This Be A New Experience For Investors?

    By Chad Henage - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBY, GME, WMT

    It's amazing that a trend can be confirmed as a certain death knell for a company, and then in one or two announcements, that same trend can be dismissed as a non-issue. I can't even count how many times I've read that Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) is being killed off by show-rooming. This practice of going to a physical retailer, looking at a product, then buying it more »

  • Don't Get Too Excited Yet

    By Chad Henage - April 8, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBY, EBAY, GME

    I've been a staunch supporter of GameStop (NYSE: GME) for a while now. In March of last year, I wrote that the massive short interest in the company didn't seem to make sense. At the time, I tried to debunk the myth that GameStop would lose to Amazon by comparing prices for some popular consoles and games. In a prior article, I also found the company was cash more »

  • What Is the Stock Market’s ‘Magic Formula’ Telling Us to Buy?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 7, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, DLX, GME, RTN, UTHR

    Gotham Asset Management founder Joel Greenblatt is said to use a more cerebral approach to picking stocks. As a professor at Columbia Business School and author of several books on value investing and methods of picking stocks, we’re guessing that Mr. Greenblatt’s top five stock picks are chosen on more than just P/E ratios and growth expectations. His fund is nearly evenly distributed between most sectors of more »

  • GameStop Slows Down

    By Austin Higgins - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: GME, MSFT, SNE

    GameStop (NYSE: GME) announced its fourth quarter and annual results at the end of March. The good news for investors is that adjusted earnings per share rose by 25% to $2.16 per share. This beat analyst expectations by $0.07 per share. But, sales did slip 5% and this year doesn’t look as strong.

    Also, console hardware sales for last quarter slipped to $616 million. Two years ago more »

  • GameStop: Still In Business?

    By Sajid Karsan - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: BBY, GME, WMT

    GameStop (NYSE: GME) has been one of the more controversial stock ideas I've written up on this site. Today, however, the stock is up almost 70% since it was first written up on this site. As such, GameStop becomes the latest company to join this site's Value In Action page.

    GameStop is easily one of the most controversial companies I've ever written up. Right from my first more »

    GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) announced its fourth quarter and annual results at the end of March. The good news for investors is that adjusted earnings per share rose by 25% to $2.16 per share.

  • Game Over for GameStop? Nah…It’s Ready to Go Up One Level

    By Harsh Chauhan - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: EA, GME, MSFT, SNE

    While being lazy this weekend, I stumbled across one of my favorite picks which I had last covered a long time ago. What pleased me is that the stock has returned almost 50% since I last looked at it more than 9 months ago, compelling me to take a detailed look at it once again.

    Being a video game enthusiast, the terrific stock price appreciation of video game retailer GameStop more »

  • Dividend Payers With No Debt

    By Reuben Brewer - April 1, 2013 | Tickers: GME, NTRI, CAKE

    The quickest way to go bankrupt is to have too much debt on the balance sheet. As an income investor, one way to protect yourself from that risk is to focus on companies with low leverage. Taking it to the extreme, Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ: CAKE), NutriSystem (NASDAQ: NTRI), and GameStop (NYSE: GME) all pay dividends and have no debt.

    Financial leverage can be a powerful tool, allowing companies to more »

  • GameStop Will be the Stock to Watch Thursday

    By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - March 27, 2013 | Tickers: CSTR, EA, GME

    Video game retailer GameStop (NYSE: GME) is set to report earnings Thursday. Given the stock’s high short interest and the rocky state of its industry, it has the potential to be one of the biggest movers in Thursday’s session.

    GameStop is heavily shorted

    Short interest isn’t available in real-time, but as of the last report, more than one-third of GameStop’s shares have been bet against.

    By Brian Nichols - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: AVP, EOG, GME, MON, NFLX

    On a day when the S&P 500 inched ever-so-closer to its all-time highs with gains of 0.78%, there were few stocks that separated themselves from the pack. These were market leading performers, and therefore I am looking at those movers, determining why they moved, and if any are presenting upside.
